Jodie has been to visit Anakin as the pair both recover from horrific road smash

“It was very traumatic for Anakin and he is lucky to be alive – when I was lying in the road, I just thought ‘he is going to die’.”

Jodie now faces a six-week wait to get back on her feet after the crash but admitted it will be several months until she is able to get back in the saddle with Anakin.

After being released from hospital the showjumper has been reunited with her steed for the first time since the devastating accident..

She added: “It’s going to take me a bit of time for me to get back on the horse – I’m not someone who scares easily but it is going to take me a while to ride near cars again and that will be the same for Anakin too.
